dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Random DPD Pick:


Love Bites
by: Judas Priest
from: Defenders of the Faith

Picked By: diamond
For: DPD: 020 - After 19 Discs I Can't Believe These Guys Haven't Made It!

I've always thought this song should have been the opener for the "Defenders of the Faith" LP, instead they kicked it off with the supersonic blast of Freewheel Burning. Not that there's anything wrong with that choice, but how cool of an album opener is this one? It's damn near as good as the heavy iron bell that opens Hells Bells.
This band was an inch away from making the Suicide disc, the reason being the two morons from Nevada, James Vance and Raymond Belknap, who tried to commit suicide after listening to the unholy power of Rob Halford and company. Ray was the lucky one in the pact, as he successfully made the leap into the next dimension, but poor, dumb-assed James was left with the horrible disfigurement that only a shotgun can deliver. He finally made it to the other side to meet up with his best friend Ray, a few years later. James died in a mental hospital, addicted to pain killers. I don't know if it was intentional, but the last album that Halford made with the band was appropriately titled, "Painkiller."
